Knight Rider

NetEnt built Knight Rider as a licensed take on the 1980s television series of the same name, keeping the desert backdrop, the talking car KITT, and voice work from Michael Knight woven through the presentation. The theme music from the original show plays in short bursts on the base reels and opens up fully once the bonus round starts.

The game runs on a 5-reel, 4-row layout with 26 fixed paylines, and three to five matching symbols landing across a line from the left-hand side complete a win.

Card ranks from 10 through Ace make up the lower-paying symbols, worth 0.5x to 1.5x the bet for five in a row, while trucks, watches, steering wheels, Michael Knight himself, and KITT's scanner light sit higher up the pay table at 2x to 4x the bet for five. Wild symbols substitute for any paying icon and carry a multiplier of their own.

A wild's multiplier matches the reel it lands on, so one appearing on the fourth reel carries a x4 value. Once used in a winning combination, that wild steps left by one position ahead of the following spin, with its multiplier value increasing as it goes. A separate Turbo Boost Feature can trigger at random during the base game, dropping 3 to 4 of these walking multiplier wilds onto the reels in one go.

Three scatter symbols landing on reels 2, 3, and 4 award 10 free spins, where special knight symbols get collected as they land; every three collected raises the player a level, and each new level adds two extra spins plus one extra laser wild. The current tally of laser wilds, effectively the same walking multiplier wilds under a different name, is seeded onto the reels at the start of every free spin, up to a level-four cap where three are added each time. Free spins can also be bought outright for 140x the bet rather than waiting for the scatters to land.

NetEnt has Knight Rider set to a high-volatility profile with a 96.07% RTP, a maximum win of 7,000x the stake, and a bet range of 0.20 to 40 per spin.
